I was one of the Boeing pilots on this record setting flight. 19 hours and 22 minutes block to block (and 10408 Nautical Miles)… The longest ETOPS endurance test flight ever!
Air Traffic Control was fantastic and very accommodating. – Thank you!
The airplane performed flawlessly. As a matter of fact – we didn’t even top off the fuel tanks.
